Abell rings every 2 hours, a second bell rings every 3 hours, and a third bell rings every 4 hours. if all 3 bells rind at 9: 00am., at what time will all 3 bells next ring?

9:00 P.M.

Step-by-step explanation:

All 3 bells ring at 9AM

1st bell: every 2 hours:

9AM, 11AM, 1PM, 3PM, 5PM, 7PM, 9PM

2nd bell: very 3 hours:

9AM, 12AM, 3PM, 6PM, 9PM

3rd bell: every 4 hours:

9AM, 1PM, 5PM,  9PM

So All 3 bells will ring at 9PM again

you ignore the remainder, therefore the answer is y = x+2

step-by-step explanation:

you have to divide the denominator by the numerator. you can use synthetic division or long division.

[-5] .     1 .     7 .     11

x + 2 + 1/x+5
